PCOS have been in my body since i was in school.... 13 years old as far that i can remember.
I was not obese...but my period were very very irregular.... I can go having NO period at all in 1-2 years.
I knew right away there's something wrong with me.... And when i was at the tender age of 16 i knew that it will be difficult for me to have children of my own.Nobody told me this but i just knew from Biology class and during that time we have a topic on human reproductive.
My parent did bring me to see O&G specialist , the doctors just tell me i have hormone imbalance and prescribed me with hormone pills for every 3 months and everytime they want me to menstruate.... But really doc? A teen with hormone pills for months??? I definitely wont consume it for every 3 months... Yeahh the rebel me..... I think i just ate them for a month a year against my doctor wished for me to take every 3 months...huhuhu
In my University years i become more aware of my condition and have self diagnosed myself with PCOS base on my symptoms i read from the internet which were irregular period, light facial hair and rapid weight gain.
During my third year i have a full blown panic attacks that kicks in the period of my anxiety disorder. I went to see a psychiatrist... Was on xanax and zoloft for few years... Until sometime in my late 20s i accidentally told my psychiatrist that i didn't get my period for quite long time and this new information made her told me that my anxiety disorder might have related with my irregular period. My psychiatist encourage me to see O&G speacialist and i follow what was prescribed to me. This time i dilligently took my hormone pill for every 3 months for couple of year and saw a decline in my anxiety episodes. Wuhuu...
I was officially diagnosed with PCOS in my early 30s by a fertility doctor when we can't get pregnant in 2 years. The diagnosis came after checking my ovaries via transvagina scan and hormone blood test that shows the lh and fsh ratio was mire than 1:1.
It tooks more than a decade for the official diagnosis.... Huhuhu... That long huh?! Which was no surprise to me then..
